Coffee Makers Discussions

I can not believe that there have been no posts yet about coffee makers! Well, let me be the first poster than. Many times coffee makers will start to function improperly. This is due to the setament buildup in the resevour and the piping. If all the sudden the water aint going threw the pips anymore, don't throw it away! Instead, use CLR. Run the CLR liquid threw the resevour. (Without Coffee Of Course) Follow instructions on the bottle. CLR will also work for many other things too!

great tip.

i have a "capresso" brand coffee maker. this is a neat set up where it grinds the beans just prior to brewing.

this is a low maintainence machine, requiring only emptying the filter basket after use.

makes great java still after almost eight years.

Thanks...

I had forgotten to mentione though that the above I wrote is only one problem why a coffee maker can stop working. But, its the most common cause though of failure.

You can do them same thing with vinigar, and should after a while. Just be sure to rinse by making three or four pots of water afterward.

Hay Marshall you are a sharp one If the CLR did not work, thats what I would have said. You read my mind lol.

I just ordered a Presto Scandinavian Design Coffee Maker from Costco. It is very highly rated and cheap compared to Capresso and others. It has three heating elemnets to make sure the coffee is brewed between 185-200 degrees F.

I'll review it after  I use it a couple of times. I also got a Swissgold filter for it off of Amazon. It is a permanent filter that is 23kt gold plated. It does not absorb any of the coffee oils or put any residue from the paper in the coffee.

I'm a coffee lover! I can't leave without coffee. What do you think is the best coffee maker and where can I get it?
Thanks

Hi All

The snowthrower forum attracted me here, but I found this thread and thought I would share my two cents. I am a little confused on what snowblower to buy, but I can assure you I know the best coffee maker. At least in my opinion.

I have a Bunn. Not sure what model, but its a home version, which is a mini of the commercial models.  Bunn coffee makers are used all over the world and used by the biggest in name coffee chains. Next time you go into you favorite coffee shop, check out their maker. Willing to bet its a Bunn.

Why is bunn better? Well they have a hot water tank built into them. Constantly keeping the water at optimal temp. Which almost make for a super fast pot of coffee, considering the water is already boiled. Also the spray heads are very unique and cover over all the beans.

There are a lot more reason, but best off reading it on the bunn website. Which I would guess is Bunn.com  just google if wrong.

You will see they have a few versions, get their cheapest and I bet it will surpast any coffee maker you probably ever had.  I highly recommend it.

If you have trouble finding a retailer. You may find one at your local coffee shop. Here in Canada, the big name coffee shop is Tim Hortins. They sell Bunn Coffee makers. The same version you can get at ace hardware, etc.. Only difference is they have their name plastered on the machine and decanter.   Tim Hortins is also in the USA, but a lot harder to find then in Canada.

Hope this helps
